INGREDIENTS:

2 rounded teaspoons of 70% dark chocolate cocoa powder (look for a higher percentage of cocoa on dark chocolate. The higher percentage means a more bitter, but healthier, chocolate drink)

2 teaspoons of organic sugar or sugar substitute

DIRECTIONS:

1. Heat the milk in a saucepan over medium heat until steaming (but not boiling).
2. Add cocoa powder and sweetener and whisk to combine ingredients.
3. Whisk the cocoa powder and sweetener until well-blended.
4. Pour into favorite mugs and enjoy!

Looking for something more? Why not try adding in a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg? Or if you’re in the mood for a refreshing drink, skip the flavored syrups and muddle in some mint leaves or stir with a candy cane!
